tons which were presented by the case of Sie-
bold q Hagelan, already argued. The Attorney
general Of Kansas, who, by reason of rnisap-
prehension. did not appear to argue the latter
orally, was in the courtroom this morning
and fled a petition for leave make oral argu-
ment now, Notwithstanding the fact that tho

their limits. and also to recover indemnity for
swamp lands purchased by individuals, the
proceeds of which were, by statute,
directed to be applied far necessary to the
reclamation of such lands by means Of levees
and drains. The United States maintained that
the Court of Claims had no jurisdiction to de-
termine a cause which State sued the United
States that part of the claims were barred by
the statute Of mutations. and that the United
States was entitled to make set-off or counter
claim account of the States of Louisiana
Alabama and Mississippi under the act of Aug
5. 1861 The Court of Claims decided that it
had jurisdiction that the disputed items were
not barred by the statute of limitations, and
that the off eoun tercisim could not be al
